Well, the only thing I figure you could do is mess with the highlighted text colors, i.e. make the highlighted text color the "different" color you want then set that text as highlighted using the SelStart, SelLength and SelText properties. But this is kind of kludgy and you'll probably need to keep track of it so you can reset it to normal at some point.
